Screws may become stripped, making removal difficult.
Solution

Use a T40 Star Bit:
-
Lightly hammer the T40 star bit into the stripped screw.

Turn carefully to remove the screw.

Alternative – Flathead Bit:

Try to twist and remove it.

Tip: Apply steady pressure and ensure the bit is well-seated in the screw to avoid further damage.
